about:config --> browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.newtabWallpapers.enabled true
about:blank with a dark theme is the only new tab experience I will ever use.
Same. Who stares at an empty tab for more than 5 seconds? If I put a wallpaper, I’ll barely see it.
Do you look at your desktop wallpaper for much longer?
I don’t, that’s why I don’t have one either, just a black screen.
Alright. Nothing wrong with that, and you’re consistent. But many computer users appreciate the desktop wallpaper feature, so I imagined they’d appreciate this feature. I think I will.
Not much longer, but a bit
I mean I get that and I think many people on the Fediverse agrees, but I showed my girlfriend this picture with the red panda background and she’s excited about this feature (and hence Firefox) because of a red panda.
Don’t underestimate or undervalue catering to non-technical people. If we want Firefox to be adopted more widely, we need those people to enjoy the experience.
Same, probably, but I also appreciate the option.

I don’t hate it, but the other options in the screenshot makes it seem like they’re going for parity with Edge in terms of new tab customizability. I love my Firefox but over the long history of the project I feel like they’ve frequently chased the wrong trends.
Personally I always use the blank new tab page, so I bet this won’t even work for me. 🙁
Same. I don’t need anything on a new tab page, I just need to search in the URL bar. Maybe there’d be value if I could use the “tabs on other devices” thing as my new tab page.
about:firefoxview#syncedtabs
takes you there if you have a way to set it as new tab.Dang, it’s not a quick setting in the UI, and using an extension didn’t seem to work properly.
Maybe I’ll raise that as a feature request, I think others may prefer that to having the separate “view” tab (ctrl/cmd + T is pretty convenient).
I didn’t know this was a thing! Thank you.
Yeah, that would be handy. Good call.
Red Panda!

That’s why I use tabliss - plus all the other customization and config.
@neme They should organize the menus in one place and add more overall customization options instead. Seems they just randomly jump in different directions ignoring their core users.
I wonder if they’ll implement stuff like this:
(Screenshot taken from the Android version of Firefox)
They really should add the option to set custom one, especially on Android all of the currently available ones look so bad.
This is about time I get to utter my favorite taco commercial quote:
Why not have both?
Yay speed improvenents?
I’d rather they fix the"Firefox is already running" bug
They are bringing back personas?
does it work with animated images/videos?
It doesn’t let you set custom one at the moment, only those that you can see in the picture.
oh alright then, thanks
I have been waiting for this. Do you reckon this will put and end to Tabliss?
Can’t you do that with CSS already?
So like Brave.
More bloat ? Perhaps there’s other more important stuff to do ?
Maybe that took them 10 min
